Dairy ingredient guide
PHILADELPHIA® Cream Cheese Recipes
PHILADELPHIA® Cream Cheese is a smooth, mild dairy ingredient that brings richness, body, and a lightly tangy flavor to both sweet and savory recipes. It melts into sauces, whips into frostings, and bakes into dense, creamy desserts.
It is especially useful in cheesecakes, no-bake pies, cream cheese frosting, party dips, stuffed pastries, casseroles, and creamy pasta dishes. Its soft texture helps bind fillings and adds a luxurious finish without overpowering other ingredients.
For best results, let cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing it into batters, spreads, and dips. This helps prevent lumps and creates a smoother texture in recipes like cheesecake, buffalo chicken dip, crab rangoon filling, and frosting.
